Are these foods healthy or not? It's the question I get all the time as a dietitian, but I'm happy to answer it. So let's do it. You guys ask me about snack foods a lot for kids. We did an episode on goldfish crackers. I guess it was kind of while ago now. That was actually episode number 40, and I'll link it for you in the show notes if you're curious on that one.

But today, we're talking about pretzels and Cheerios.

There's no particular reason that these are grouped together.

They're just ones I get asked about often, so I figured let's put them together into one episode.

Music them together into one episode. If you don't know me by now, I'm Casey, Casey Barnes.

This is Mama Nose Nutrition, the podcast.

Most of you here also follow me on Instagram or TikTok, and I just want to say thank you for that.

Like helping parents with feeding their kids and answering your questions brings me a lot of joy.

It's really the reason why I do this every day, and I'm so grateful that this is my job.

Every time that you like a post or comment or listen to a podcast episode.

It helps me reach other parents and continue helping more families.

I appreciate every single time you interact with my account.

There is nothing too small.

I love when you use my links for your Amazon purchases.

When you visit mom knowsnutrition.com.

It is all amazing. So thank you.

Oh, and before I chat about pretzels and Cheerios, I do want you to know that I have e-guides in my shop on momanosnutrition.com.

If you're like, please, Casey, just tell me what to feed my kids so I don't have to read all the

labels, but I can know that they're getting good stuff in, then you are going to love my guides.

I'll also link that up in the show notes for you.

The first thing that I want to say about both pretzels and Cheerios is that there is no food I'll ever tell you to never feed your child.

Unless they're allergic to it, like please don't feed them that.
